In our desire to know the Savior, I can't tell you how important it is to read His words and to study the scriptures daily. I can't tell you how many times, as I have opened the scriptures and been reading about something that seemed unrelated to something else, suddenly, thoughts and impressions have come flowing into my mind and spirit, helping me to understand something that I wasn't even thinking about. The Lord uses the scriptures to speak to us. In the illustrations in chapter 4, we point out two stories that are some of my favorites. The first, as you know, is the story of Nephi and him building a ship. And many times, when I've been in a difficult situation where I needed the strength of the Lord, I have read these words. "If God had commanded me to do all things I could do them. If He should command me that I should say into this water, be thou earth, it should be earth; and if I should say it, it would be done. And now, if the Lord has such great power, and has wrought so many miracles among the children of men, how is it that he cannot instruct me, that I should build a ship?" And how is it that he couldn't help us to put away some of our unsavory patterns, the things we don't like about what we do, and help us become someone better? He can do it. I love, also, the story that we use about the people of Ammon. Think about how absolutely sinful they were and how the Lord lifted that sin from them. I love these words. "And I also thank my God," this is the King speaking, "yea, my great God, that he hath granted unto us that we might repent of these things, and also that he hath forgiven us of those many sins and murders which we have committed, and taken away the guilt from our hearts, through the merits of His Son." I give you my witness that the Son of God has power to take the guilt from our hearts. I have felt it, and I promise it to you.
